50045 Achillies emerges from the fog at Shrivenham on 28 September 1985 with the 1A26 08:25 Weston-super-Mare to Paddington service. This was the last Saturday of the summer timetable, and from the following week 1A26 would become the 08:57 Cardiff Central to Paddington, passing this spot five minutes later. This photo is taken from the site of the old Ashbury level crossing, which was replaced by a concrete footbridge in the 1970s. |
